’Til I’m Laid To Rest lyrics with English Translations
[Chorus] Till I'm laid to rest, yes Always be depressed There's no life in the West I know the East is the best All the propaganda they spread Tongues will haffi confess (Tongues will have to confess)
[Verse 1] I'm in bondage living is a mess I've got to rise up, alleviate the stress No longer will I expose my weakness He who seeks knowledge begins with humbleness Work seven to seven yet mi still penniless (Work seven to seven yet I'm still penniless) All the food upon mi table Massa God bless (All the food upon my table Massa God bless) Holla fi di needy and shelter less (Holler for the needy and shelter less) Ethiopia awaits all prince and princess (Repeat Chorus)
[Verse 2] Wha’ coulda bad suh bout di East (What could be so bad about the East) Everybaddi wants a piece (Everybody wants a piece) Africa for Africans, Marcus Mosiah speak Unification outnumbers defeat What a day when wi walk down Redemption Street (What a day when we walk down Redemption Street) Banner on heads, Bible inna hand (Bible in hand) One and all, let's trod the promised land Buju guh dung a Congo stopped in Shashamane Land (Buju go down at Congo stopped in Shashamane Land) The city of Harare where Selassie come from In Addis Ababa then Botswana Left Kenya end up in Ghana Oh, what a beauty my eyesight behold Only Ethiopia protect me from the cold (Repeat Chorus)
[Verse 3] Organize and centralize, come as one Our seeds shall be so many more than sand Some new and replenish pure and clean heart Far too long we've been unda this band (Far too long we've been under this band) Some a save a bag a riches, (Some are saving a bag of riches,) Yet they die empty hand Go on saying I'm stupid and laugh all you can Easier for a camel to go through a needle eye Than a rich man to enter Zion Take it from I-man, suh!
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Verse 1)
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Verse 2)
(Repeat Chorus)
[Outro] Organize and centralize, come as one!
